These are my lines to memorize and make sure you believe them
'cause things are bad and at the edge of every cloud's a black lining.
But wait, she said, as she stood by my side.
And how her face glows, the black lining's gone.
It's silver.
She told me to...

[Chorus:]
Hold on to this thought, I had an illustration.
He would struggle, couldn't get along, but now he can.

And plus it's true that this band's got my back.
Now everyone knows the black lining's gone.
It's silver she told me to.

[Chorus]

And then I guess it only goes to show.
Battered and bruised, life lands some hits.
So far, but she told me to...

[Chorus]
